unless otherwise noted.
information returns, including any Forms 8300 during
2024.
Example 2. If you file three Forms 1099-MISC and four
Forms 1099-DIV in 2024, you would not have met the
10-return threshold and you are not required to
electronically file information returns, including Form 8300
during 2024.
Any transactions conducted between a payer (or its
agent) and the recipient in a 24-hour period are related
transactions. Transactions are considered related even if
they occur over a period of more than 24 hours if the
recipient knows, or has reason to know, that each
transaction is one of a series of connected transactions.
Members of a consolidated group. If the person
required to file Form 8300 is a member of a consolidated
group, then information specific to that member
corporation must be provided in Part IV, items 35 through
41, rather than information about the common parent.
However, the common parent's name and employer
identification number must be included in the Comments
section.
Related parties. If the person who must file Form 8300
is related to the individual who gave the person filing
Form 8300 the cash, or related to the person on whose
behalf the transaction was conducted, the person filing
Form 8300 must include the words “RELATED PARTY
TRANSACTION” in the Comments section. See IRC
267(b) for more information about related parties. Consult
your tax advisor for more information.
Retention requirement. Persons must keep a copy of
each Form 8300 for 5 years from the date filed. When
filing electronically, ensure you save a copy of the
completed form prior to submission. A confirmation that
the Form 8300 has been filed is not a substitute for the
form. We recommend you associate the confirmation
number with the saved copy.

Important Reminders
Section 6050I (26 United States Code (U.S.C.) 6050I)
•
and 31 U.S.C. 5331 require that certain information be
reported to the IRS and the Financial Crimes Enforcement
Network (FinCEN). This information must be reported on
IRS/FinCEN Form 8300.
Item 33, box i, is to be checked only by clerks of the

General Instructions
Who must file. Each person engaged in a trade or
business who, in the course of that trade or business,
receives more than $10,000 in cash in one transaction or
in two or more related transactions, must file Form 8300.
You are required to file certain other information returns
electronically if you are required to file, in aggregate, at
least 10 information returns of one or more type, other
than Form 8300, during the calendar year. If you file fewer
than 10 information returns during 2024 (of any type other
than Form 8300), then you do not have to file the
Court clerks. Clerks of federal or state courts must file
Form 8300 if more than $10,000 in cash is received as bail
for an individual(s) charged with a specified criminal
offense. Both dollar threshold and the specified criminal
offense criteria must be met. “Specified criminal offense”
means:
A federal criminal offense involving a controlled

Code);
information returns electronically and you are not required
to file any Form 8300 electronically in 2024 (although you
may choose to do so). The number of Forms 8300 you file
does not affect whether you are required to file any
information returns electronically, including any Forms
8300. The 10-information-return threshold is reevaluated
on an annual basis.
Example 1. If you file five Forms W-2 and five Forms
1099-INT in 2024, then you would have met the 10-return
threshold and you are required to electronically file all your
Racketeering (as defined in section 1951, 1952, or
•
1955 of Title 18 of the U.S. Code);
Money laundering (as defined in section 1956 or 1957
•
of Title 18 of the U.S. Code); and
Any state criminal offense substantially similar to stated
•
offenses 1–3 above.
For these purposes, a clerk includes the clerk’s office or
any other office, department, division, branch, or unit of
the court that is authorized to receive bail. If a person

Cat. No. 93312P
receives bail on behalf of a clerk, the clerk is treated as
on the center top of page 1 of each Form 8300 when
submitting the paper filed return.
If multiple payments are made in cash to satisfy bail
and the initial payment does not exceed $10,000, the
initial payment and subsequent payments must be
aggregated, and the information return must be filed by
the 15th day after receipt of the payment that causes the
aggregate amount to exceed $10,000 in cash. In such
cases, the reporting requirement can be satisfied by
sending a single written statement with the aggregate
Form 8300 amounts listed relating to that payer. Payments
made to satisfy separate bail requirements are not
required to be aggregated. See Regulations section
1.6050I-2.
Note. If you file fewer than 10 information returns (of any
type other than Form 8300) during the calendar year, you
may file Form 8300 in paper form without requesting a
waiver. You still have the option to file electronically even if
the minimum 10-return threshold is not met and you are
encouraged to do so.
Exemptions. If using the technology required to file in
electronic form conflicts with your religious beliefs, you are
automatically exempt from filing Form 8300 electronically.
You must include the words “RELIGIOUS EXEMPTION”
on the center top of page 1 of each Form 8300 when
submitting the paper filed return.
Late returns. You must identify late filed returns. A late
Form 8300 must be filed in the same manner, either
electronically or on paper, as a timely filed Form 8300. If
you file a late Form 8300 electronically, you must include
the word “LATE” in the Comments section of the return. If
you file a late Form 8300 on paper, you must write “LATE”
on the center top of page 1 of each Form 8300.

statement to each named person must not indicate if the
filer noted the transaction was suspicious. Also, providing
a copy of Form 8300 to the named person, although not
prohibited, is not advisable due to the sensitive
information contained on the form, for example, the

Multiple payments. If you receive more than one cash

time you receive a total amount of cash that exceeds
$10,000 within any 12-month period. Submit the report

more than one report is required within 15 days, you may
file a combined report. File the combined report no later
than the date the earliest report, if filed separately, would
have to be filed.
Waivers. You may file a request for a waiver from filing
information returns electronically due to undue hardship.
For more information, refer to Form 8508, Application for a
Waiver from Electronic Filing of Information Returns. If you
request and are granted a waiver from electronically filing
any information return, that waiver automatically applies to
any Forms 8300 that you are required to file for the
duration of the calendar year. You may not file a request
for a waiver from filing only Form 8300 electronically. If a
waiver is granted, you must include the words “WAIVER”

may be subject to penalties for an incorrect or missing
TIN.
Moreover, the filer must establish that the filer acted in
a responsible manner before and after the failure
occurred.
The TIN for an individual (including a sole
proprietorship) is the individual’s SSN. For certain resident
aliens who are not eligible to get an SSN and nonresident
aliens who are required to file tax returns, it is an IRS
Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN). For other
persons, including corporations, partnerships, and
estates, it is the EIN.
If you have requested but are not able to get a TIN for
one or more of the parties to a transaction within 15 days
following the transaction, file the report and use the
Comments section on page 2 of the form to explain why
the TIN is not included.

Penalties. You may be subject to penalties if you fail to
file a correct and complete Form 8300 on time and you
cannot show that the failure was due to reasonable cause.
You may also be subject to penalties if you fail to furnish
timely a correct and complete statement to each person
named in a required report. A minimum penalty of $25,000
may be imposed if the failure is due to an intentional or
willful disregard of the cash reporting requirements.
Penalties may also be imposed for causing, or
attempting to cause, a trade or business to fail to file a
required report; for causing, or attempting to cause, a
trade or business to file a required report containing a

conviction, may result in imprisonment of up to 5 years or
fines of up to $250,000 for individuals and $500,000 for

Reasonable cause. Reasonable cause is based on all
the facts and circumstances in each situation and allows

but was nevertheless unable to comply with those
obligations.
